Which is what I’m saying. I was a new hire that would have been scheduled for a lower pay rate had the company not decided to do otherwise.
Also, you’re saying that American says they’ll pay us, for simplicity’s sake, $100 to fly our plane and oh by the way you can only pay your guys $x. That makes no sense. As long as the company agrees to the $100 what do they give a crap if the company is paying $y.
Also, it looks like the union did want the decrease. They voted for it.
